I have checked in at Fuyang Fuchun River before, it is so beautiful, and I have taken a real-life tour of Fuchun Mountain Residence.
Our company-sponsored trip to Tonglu was a complete bummer. We only went rafting for 15 minutes on the first day, and that was it. The second day, we cruised the Fuchun River, but it was nothing special. The scenery was just so-so, and the water wasn't clear.
Actually, it is in Chun'an. When you get there, you must take a boat to see what the Thousand Islands are.
It is a good place to visit in all seasons, and there are many scenic spots and historical sites scattered among the mountains and rivers, such as "Yanling Wen Gu", "Tongjun Mountain", "Zixu Yedu", etc.
Very beautiful, especially the fog on the river in the morning, very dreamy
Historical and cultural attractions, Fuchun Mountain Residence and Yan Ziling made this river, but it is a pity that it has been over-eaten by the descendants.
Fuchun River is famous for the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". Its scenery is worthy of the name of the Little Three Gorges. I followed the scarecrow along the Fuchun River and admired the painting "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by the Fuchun River. It was a wonderful memory.
I went there once by bike to see the rape flowers and kayak. I was happy.
I think apart from the nice environment, nothing else is particularly good.
It is a beautiful scenery in itself. In addition, it is the retreat of Yan Ziling and is famous for the "Fuchun River Residence" by Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gong, one of the ten most famous paintings in China.
Speaking of the Fuchun River, it's where the painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains was created. Huang Gongwang spent seven years observing the wondrous transformations of clouds and mist, and savoring the beauty of the river, mountains, and fishing beaches. The sight of it now is breathtaking.
In fact, Fuchun Mountain Residence is not just a painting, it is a philosophy, an attitude towards life, which enables the creator to transform the pain of national destruction that has been accumulated for ninety years into something else, open-minded, free from the pain of foreign rule, and return to the mountains and rivers. Regardless of the rise and fall of dynasties, he just comes back to be himself, a simple self.
I recall a poem called "Recollections of Nanshan". In it, I took a small boat, immersed in the scenery with the wind, looked at the fishing lights on the river bank, and then turned to the deep bamboo forest, where I saw a small building with a broken stele. The monks began to recite again. In the red pavilion on the reed bank, I shook my green straw raincoat and invited Nanshan to drink with me.
I've participated in many Fuchun River crossings. The water quality is better than the Qiantang River, making it a great place to swim. The islands in the river are also nice.
I went to Taoyuan Spring Residence and Longmen Ancient Town! Experiencing the secluded life deep in the mountains and forests was truly unique!
The Fuchun River really looks like a landscape painting, it’s very beautiful!
Fuchun River is still a relatively beautiful section of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are many scenic spots around it.
The Fuchun River, the inspiration for the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," captures the beauty of this region. The dense vegetation of lush pines and cypresses on both banks makes for a breathtaking scene, making voices almost indistinguishable. There were only eight tourists on the boat, overjoyed at the generous treatment, happily tickling each other with Xiaowei. Many literati and poets have left precious works of art there, and against the backdrop of hydrangeas, the artistic and unpretentious atmosphere is truly captivating. Like water, this place is free from over-commercialization and instead feels remarkably tranquil and relaxed. With few tourists, the rich scent of mountain grass, sticky after the rain, mingled with the chirping of insects and birds, is refreshing. The thick moss, like a story etched by time, tells a story. This isn't a tourist mecca, but its tranquility and leisurely atmosphere bring a sense of peace and tranquility.
We marveled at the beauty of the Fuchun River, and what made us even more delighted was that we were the only two people running along the river, as if we were so rich that we could enjoy this beautiful scenery alone.
The second season of "A Longing for Life" begins with a boat ride on the Fuchun River. It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration to regard the scenery of the Fuchun River as the representative of Tonglu. Indeed, when you come to Tonglu, you will definitely see the Fuchun River when passing through the county town. Although there are high-rise buildings and modern buildings on both sides of the river, it cannot resist its beauty. You will be attracted by the scenery of the Fuchun River.
Fuchunjiang said that the scenery of the Little Three Gorges is indeed nice, and the main thing is that there are almost no tourists and it is quiet.
The banks of the Fuchun River are lush with greenery, especially bamboo forests. Coming to the Fuchun River and experiencing the landscapes depicted in famous paintings is like a dream, a tranquil journey from a bygone era.
The scenery is very beautiful. Except for being a little sunny on the boat, everything else is pretty good. I feel that this place is more suitable for cool weather, without rain or sun.
It is said that from this point you can see the most beautiful section of the Fuchun River, as depicted in the paintings of Fuchun Mountain Residence by ancient masters. Today, the actual scene is vividly presented before our eyes! The sun was too strong in the afternoon, so I didn’t have time to take pictures. I only took one look and said goodbye!
Arriving at Dongtai, a mountaintop perch, offers a breathtaking view of the Fuchun River. The river's emerald waters ripple, the verdant mountains on both sides shimmer, and the sky and water blend seamlessly beneath the blue sky and white clouds, inviting you to burst into song. Mountain songs are like the spring river...
The Fuchun River (Qililong) is sandwiched between the two banks, like a river belt. In the middle of the river, oars are paddled and sails are flying. You will be immersed in the scene, intoxicated, happy and enjoying the famous canyon scenery.
The beautiful Fuchun River flows through the city, the sky and the clouds blending into one. A knowledgeable friend, with a deep understanding of the landscape, introduced us to the very scene from Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." The Fuchun River's lower reaches lead to Hangzhou's Qiantang River!
The most beautiful section of the Fuchun River is from Tonglu to Meicheng in Jiande (the area from Chun'an in the north to Fuyang in the south is an important scenic spot in Zhejiang Province). The scenery of the Fuchun River in front of the fishing platform is quite similar to the "Three Gorges of the Yangtze River", so it is known as the "Little Three Gorges of the Fuchun River".
The Fuchun River's Little Three Gorges—a natural masterpiece. The Fuchun River's Little Three Gorges are arguably the most picturesque stretch of the Fuchun River. Gorges within gorges, scenery within scenery. The river's waters, a shimmering gemstone blue and emerald green, flow endlessly like a vast, green brocade. Wandering through this naturally crafted wonderland is enough to evoke the same poetic and captivating reverie as a trip to the Yangtze River's Little Three Gorges, leading to the apt saying, "To explore the Little Three Gorges, you don't need to travel to the Yangtze River."
The Fuchun River at night is enchanting and charming. Though it's hard to see clearly, the drive is only a dozen minutes, and I've already told my husband at least five times that we must take a stroll along the river tomorrow morning. These fleeting glimpses of the river's shimmering spring scenery are a testament to Huang Gongwang's over twenty years of dedication. The beautiful Jiangnan landscape has embodied the spirit and elegance of countless Jiangnan scholars! PS: — No tourists! — That's the best scenery! Because the fresh air and the picturesque riverscape are no match for the surging crowds. This trip has given me a new appreciation for the ancient Jiangnan region's legacy of scholars and collectors.
Driving on the Fuchun River, it was super cool. Even the annoying eyeworms (insects that specifically target human pupils) disappeared. The mountains, waters, and scenery were beautiful.
The picturesque Fuchun River flows for 68 kilometers, 52 kilometers of which flow through Fuyang, offering breathtaking scenery and picturesque views. The city is most famous for the time when the renowned Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang, who lived in seclusion on the banks of the Fuchun River over 600 years ago, created the masterpiece "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains." The Fuchun River, a source of spiritual energy, has earned the reputation of "Fuchun is the most beautiful landscape in the world, both ancient and modern." "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" embodies the mystique and legend of Fuyang.
The scenery is beautiful and picturesque. Boating on the river is refreshing!
The mountains on both sides are green and beautiful, and the river water is clear and blue.
Beautiful scenery, it was a little cold in the morning during the National Day holiday
I guess it was the wrong season to come. The Fuchun River I saw at Yan Ziling's fishing platform was just average.
In 2000, I went to the optical cable factory to ask for optical cables, but they didn’t give me any. I also took the opportunity to see the Fuchun River.
We visited the Fuchun River. The banks of the river are breathtakingly beautiful, with distant mountains and nearby waters teeming with life. Young people would stroll through the mountains or along the lakefront early in the morning, taking deep breaths to refresh themselves. Elderly people would practice Tai Chi and other health-enhancing exercises, which are beneficial to both the body and mind and promote longevity. There was a fascinating plant near the lake that I couldn't name. I captured it just as the setting sun was setting, and the result was truly remarkable. The walls surrounding the town were also quite beautiful, with the occasional ink painting truly captivating. I snapped a photo and shared it with my beekeepers. Small boats moored quietly along the riverbank created a beautiful scene. In the early morning, a thin mist shrouded the distant horizon, and the reflections of tree branches on the still water were truly captivating. The shimmering Fuchun River offers an indescribable beauty, attracting countless photographers. The contrast between the mountains and water, with the lifelike buildings nestled within, creates a dazzling landscape. It's truly breathtaking! This brief stop only satisfied my curiosity. When will I be able to calm down and savor the local customs and fishing village atmosphere?
Beautiful scenery! Free and easy. Peaceful and tranquil! A truly perfect trip.
We visited the Yanziling fishing platform, where the river water was emerald green and the mountains on both sides were lush and green.
It feels great to sit on the boat and watch the scenery, a bit like the Three Gorges
The Fuchun River is a river in central Zhejiang Province, China. It is the nickname for the section of the Qiantang River from Meicheng Town, Jiande City, to Wenjiayan in Xiaoshan District. It is 110 kilometers long and flows through Tonglu and Fuyang counties in Zhejiang Province. A canyon section begins 5 kilometers below Meicheng and ends near Lucibu.
The Fuchun River, with its lush green mountains and crystal-clear waters, is renowned for its breathtaking beauty. Furthermore, the numerous villages and towns with distinct local characteristics add to the vibrant landscape of the Fuchun and Xin'an Rivers. The Fuchun River area was once known as the "Little Three Gorges," and it's often said, "Fuchun is the most beautiful region in the world, both ancient and modern." Where the tributary, Xuxi, joins it, stands the Zixu Ferry and the Wu Zixu Temple. Liang Dynasty writer Wu Jun described the Fuchun River scenery in his letter to Zhu Yuansi: "From Fuyang to Tonglu, a distance of approximately one hundred miles, the scenery is breathtaking, with breathtaking mountains and rivers, unparalleled in the world." Construction of the Fuchun River Hydropower Station downstream has flooded the area, turning it into a reservoir. The vast river, like a mirror, reflects the lush green mountains on both sides, making "Seven Miles of Sailing" one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Yanling.
About 50 kilometers out of Hangzhou, the river here is no longer called Qiantang River, but Fuchun River. Indeed, the Fuchun River is no longer as busy as the Qiantang River, but is more tranquil. The water has become clearer, and the river is even wider. After driving for another 20 kilometers, the river becomes narrower and the water is clearer. This place is no longer as flat as Hangzhou. The mountains on both sides are getting higher and higher. There is a paragliding base here. It takes 20 minutes to drive along the mountain road to reach the base. The scenery on the mountain is very pleasant and beautiful, and the air is really good.
There are many farmhouses near Huang Gongwang, and it seems there are also movie shooting locations
It's suitable for swimming. When I went there, there were a lot of people swimming. The waves were huge and it was very exciting to watch. They were all professionals. I went there with classmates and friends. The river breeze was very refreshing and there was a helicopter flying overhead.
The real scene of Fuchun Mountain Residence is like a fairyland with beautiful mountains and waters.
Maybe it was the wrong season or weather, but I didn't have a very deep impression of the Fuchun River. However, boating on the river was still very pleasant.
I went there in 2002 and it was great. I wonder how it's doing now?
An unreliable tour guide takes you on a one-time trip, leaving on a whim
The most beautiful scenery in Jiangnan, picturesque and poetic! And the delicious Tonglu cuisine!
The mountains on both sides of the Fuchun River are lush and beautiful, and the river water is clear and transparent. It is famous for its beautiful water color. In addition, many villages and towns with strong local characteristics add color to the Fuchun River and Xin'an River.
The Fuchun River is a beautiful river, and its upper reaches are Qiandao Lake. The Hangzhou-Qiandao Highway is very beautiful along both the national highway and the expressway, and it is even more beautiful from Hangzhou all the way into Anhui. It can be said to be the most beautiful highway in Zhejiang.
Since the construction of the Fuchun River Hydropower Station downstream, this area has been flooded into a reservoir. The vast river water is like a mirror, with green mountains dotted on both sides. "Seven Miles of Sailing" has become one of the eight scenic spots in Yanling today.
Dongtai and Xitai are good places to view the panoramic view of Fuchun River. You must insist on climbing to the top to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The wind and smoke are all clear, the sky and mountains are the same color. Drifting along the stream, going east and west at will.
Choose a city to spend your life in, choose someone to grow old with. Fuchun River is a good city. Confucius said, "A gentleman is like water, adapting to any angle and adapting to any place. Choose one person to grow old with, choose a city to spend your life in." Under the eaves of this world, there are as many loves as there are people, as much happiness and warmth as there are lingering romantic memories. When you walk among the lights of a thousand homes, I will light the lamp that illuminates your way home. When wrinkles creep onto your forehead, I will hold your hand tightly and grow old with you. In the trivial days, I will interpret the eternity of holding your hand and growing old together.

My company traveled with a tour group in the summer. We took a boat ride and took our time to admire the scenery. Many years later, I still want to come back and review it again.
The water is clean, but the public facilities on the shore are not as good as those on the Huangpu River. It's quite a surprise to see the water rising to my feet when the tide is high.
Very good, the upper reaches are very clean, the atmosphere is not the scenery
The river is quite wide and the water is a bit muddy. There are ships passing by from time to time. I went to the Fuyang section. It is okay to walk along the river.
The water is not as clear as before, and there are many tall buildings on both sides. It is fun to cross the iron bridge to the mountain.
It is really beautiful to take a boat tour to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Fuchun River.
When I went there, the water was yellow and muddy, which was a bit disappointing.
Fuchun River and Tonglu can actually be considered as the same place name. It is difficult for travelers to separate the two; and it is difficult to separate traveling along the Fuchun River and traveling in a painting.
It's a wide river. After a heavy rain, the water overflows the treetops, creating a unique scene. There are many luxury homes along the river.
Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, one of the ten most famous paintings handed down from generation to generation.
I went there once with a tour group many years ago. We went downstream in a cruise ship. Although it was raining outside, everyone was singing in the boat and admiring the mist of Fuchun River. It was still a very leisurely trip.

Tonglu is located in the upper reaches of the Fuchun River. The urban area is well-developed and the location for viewing the river is great.
Another name for the Qiantang River section from Tonglu to Wenjiayan in Xiaoshan
Nice view, but I didn't go in because there were a lot of people.
I went there on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2016. It was quiet and not crowded. Standing on the bridge and looking at the Fuchun River, I felt as if I could see the scene when Huang Gongwang painted "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
Beautiful, very good environment. Fairyland in general. Good
It's beautiful, and the Huang Gongwang Forest Park and Stork Mountain by the Fuchun River are worth a walk. But Huang Gongwang is not a local and there is a fee for visiting.
The Fuchun River flows from the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, from Meicheng in Jiande to Wenyan in Xiaoshan. It primarily flows through the urban areas of Jiande, Tonglu, and Fuyang counties. It is known for its four unique features: lush mountains, clear waters, a rich history, and tranquil scenery. The ancients praised the Fuchun River as "Fuchun is the most beautiful landscape in the world, both ancient and modern." I saw the Fuchun River in Fuyang and Tonglu counties in late January 2018. The smog was heavy, and the vegetation was sparse. I'll return to enjoy it in a better season and weather.
